Chapter 48
J unhurriedly put down her knife and fork and calmly looked at the woman with heavy makeup.
She knew that Jocelyn just wanted to smear her name in front of all these people.
But she also knew that Jocelyn was an idiot. She was wearing a Chanel dress, an Hermes handbag,
and a Dior ne. How dare she talk about being frugal while dressed like that?
“I asked you for money because you owe me money. Isn’t it only natural for people to pay off their
debts?” J’s voice was clear yet calm.
Tears rolled down Jocelyn’s cheeks uncontrobly. She sobbed, “Mom and Dad took good care of you,
yet this is how you repay them! They really can’t afford to give you money now. We are family. How can
you bear to treat them like this?”
Then, she suddenly took her ne off and threw it at J, crying even louder. “We really don’t
have the money! This ne must be worth something. Take it as a payment of our debt! Please
don’t threaten Mom and Dad anymore!”
Jocelyn carefully painted herself as the poor daughter who had been forced to sell off her own things
for the sake of her parents. J, on the other hand, was made to look like the cold-blooded creditor
who was ungrateful to her parents and was only after their money.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, J took the ne without hesitation. ncing at Jocelyn’s Hermes
handbag, she said calmly, “I think that Chanel dress might be worth something… And that Hermes
handbag, too—actually, isn’t that a limited edition piece? In that case, I won’t make things difficult for
you. You don’t have to strip your clothes. Just give me the bag as partialpensation for your debts.”
Jocelyn’s pitiful and painful expression immediately went stiff.
This was her only Hermes Birkin. She had been waiting to get one forever. It had only been a few days
since she got it. Even if it was second-hand, it was still cost her a fortune. How could she just give it to
J?
“These… these are all fake! They’re useless to you. Anyway, you should stoping to such fancy
restaurants and save money for our parents!” As she spoke, Jocelyn hurriedly covered her bag.
J crossed her arms over her chest and looked around at the guests in the restaurant. “Do you think
everyone here is an idiot? As you said, this is a high-end restaurant. Do you think that the people who
can afford to eat here can’t tell whether a bag is real or fake? Even if you insist that you’re using the
fake, I can still take it. After all, it’s still worth some money. Give it to me!”
Hearing this, Jocelyn was panic-stricken. Everyone around her was eyeing her and whispering to each
other. She was caught in a dilemma now.
She gritted her teeth angrily. She had nned to make things difficult for J by pretending to be
pitiful, thinking that J would just take it in silence since they were in public ce.
Never in her wildest dreams would she have expected J to act so audaciously, not caring about the
people around her at all.
In the past, J had always been the submissive and silent one in their family. How could she change
into another person overnight? Had marriage really changed her?
Heartbroken, Jocelyn reluctantly set her Hermes Birkin on the table. She took out her wallet, phone,
and cosmetics from the bag then threw it at J. “There! Happy?”
“Wait, I want to see what’s in your wallet.” J smiled sardonically. She knew that Jocelyn liked
carrying a lot of cash with her.
“Don’t push it!” Jocelyn hissed through gritted teeth, ring at J murderously.
J sneered indifferently. “What? You said you didn’t have money, right? So I’m letting you pay off
your debt with your belongings. Isn’t it only reasonable? Besides, there should be no money in your
wallet, right? I mean, you’ve been talking all night about how our family is struggling financially. Why
are you so nervous? The next time you want to nder me, don’t dress like that. It’s one thing to be
unable to pay off your debts, but it’s another thing to simply refuse to pay. You’ll have bad credit.”
